…and then, all of the sudden, things became much more interesting…
Yep, on 6-7-2008, I became Dad to the second power, Dad squared, etc. with the birth of my 2nd daughter, Audrey Grace.
Same poopy diapers, same night feedings, same crying, same fantastic fresh new Dad feeling. But everything isn’t as close to being the same as one might believe…
Upon closer inspection of the behaviors of the new kid, one begins to realize very quickly that this is a brand new individual, with her very own ways of doing things. Just trying to keep the same diapering routine that I had with Zoe has already caused me to be pooped on way more times then I’d like to admit (or remember.) This one eats differently, cries differently, definitely looks different and most definitely is going to require her own ways of being raised.
This is, of course, where the excitement lies. These are two individuals, and the amazing fun will be in getting to see how their personalities branch out into two completelty different, unique and amazing human beings.
Already, I am trying not to fall into the trap of comparing and contrasting the two kids and their traits, and hopefully my wife and I can raise two whole, complete, independent (etc., the list goes on and on) human beings.
Dad.
